PRODUCT APPLICATIONS• Schools, outdoor leisure facilities, entertainment areas, hotels,

clubhouse grounds, outdoor smoking areas.

SLIP RATING• WalkSure is rated as providing ‘low potential for slip’ when

independently tested to BS 7976 part 2 to conform with UK SlipResistance Guidelines.

• Importantly WalkSure achieves the ‘low slip’ rating in each of thethree test procedures, across, diagonal to and along the boardlength.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE• Regular cleaning with a mild detergent, together with treatment

of exposed timber components will help to maintain WalkSuredecking. WalkSure can be cleaned using a jet washer at a pressureup to 1500 psi.

FIXING INSTRUCTIONS• Metsä Wood recommends that Walksure is face fixed with 2 x

63mm coated deckscrews at each joist. Screws should be drivendown below the surface of the rubber which hides the screwheadand provides maximum hold.

• Metsä Wood has approved the use of Deck-Tite 4.5x63mm Tri-lockGreen coated Deck screw.

• If deck boards are cut the sawn ends should be re-treated with asuitable timber preservative.

• Supports should be set at a maximum of 450mm centres. Aslight fall should be incorporated into the design to help improvedrainage.
